The closing day of 2023 was a remarkable one for both West Ham and Brighton, securing wins against North London giants. West Ham, led by David Moyes, displayed a formidable defense in a 2-0 victory over Arsenal, extending their winning streak in the Premier League (PL) to three games, all with multi-goal victories and clean sheets.

Starting 2024 on a similar high is the objective for West Ham, having lost only one of their last seven home league matches. However, Brighton, a team that has proven challenging for West Ham, stands in their way, with the Hammers winning just one of the last 13 head-to-head clashes.

Brighton enters the new year on a high note after a spectacular performance against Tottenham, securing a 4-2 victory despite conceding late goals. Manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed his fortune to lead such a talented team. The Seagulls boast a youthful squad, epitomized by 18-year-old Jack Hinshelwood, who contributed to Brighton's impressive tally of 19 PL goals scored by teenage players in 2023.

Brighton, trailing their hosts by only three points, aims to improve their away record, with just one win in their last seven PL away trips. During this period, they conceded an average of 2.4 goals per match.

Players to watch include James Ward-Prowse of West Ham, who recently became the second PL player to achieve ten or more assists in all competitions this season. Brighton's full-back Pervis Estupiñán, returning from injury, made an impact by scoring from outside the box against Spurs, with both of his goals this season serving as match-winners. The clash promises excitement as these two teams usher in 2024 in PL style.

对于西汉姆和布莱顿来说，2023年的最后一天都是非凡的一天，他们战胜了北伦敦的豪门。在大卫·莫耶斯的带领下，西汉姆联在2-0战胜阿森纳的比赛中表现出了强大的防守，将他们的英超连胜纪录延长到了3场，全部是多球获胜和零封对手。

从2024年开始，西汉姆联的目标也是如此，他们在过去的7场主场比赛中只输了一场。然而，布莱顿，一支对西汉姆来说具有挑战性的球队，阻碍了他们的前进，铁锤帮在过去的13场交锋中只赢了一场。

布莱顿在对阵托特纳姆热刺的比赛中表现出色，尽管在最后时刻失球，但仍以4比2的比分取得了胜利。主教练罗伯托·德泽比表示很幸运能领导这样一支才华横溢的球队。海鸥队拥有一支年轻的球队，以18岁的杰克·欣希尔伍德为代表，他在2023年为布莱顿队贡献了19个令人印象深刻的英超进球。

布莱顿目前只落后主队3分，他们的目标是改善他们的客场战绩，在过去的7次英超客场比赛中，他们只取得了1场胜利。在此期间，他们场均失球2.4个。

值得关注的球员包括西汉姆联的詹姆斯-沃德-普劳斯，他最近成为了第二个在本赛季所有比赛中助攻10次以上的英超球员。布莱顿的边后卫佩尔维斯Estupiñán从伤病中恢复，在对阵热刺的比赛中，他在禁区外的进球发挥了作用，他本赛季的两粒进球都是比赛的制胜球。这两支球队将以PL的方式迎来2024年的比赛。
